HiCustomer
Does your car crank?
Is your car equipped with a factory immobilize system? What color is your key?
Did you install new or used powertrain module?
What is going on now, are the codes active or they were before replacement of the parts?

I have met the same problem on a Grand Cherokee.
The problem was a bad pin inside a PCM connector.
I think I can help you, but it seems you are not interested in that.
Have a good time.

Were PCM, ignition coil and engine harness replaced at the same time or you have tried new PCM with the old coil?An old coil could kill new PCM.
Does BCM see ignition switch MUX voltage ( correct ignition position )?
If not, BCM tells to PCM about it and PCM might not command the coils on.

Expert:  Vladgmru replied 5 years ago.

Ok.
Let me know your results about "Ignition position" on BCM data, at the moment the car wouldn't start.
